Customized burger No. 2: Let's label this the Aussie Abstinence Burger _ a pork patty partnered with wild arugula & beetroot & no sauces whatsoever. Lean & green (the meat seems too lean); as with many things in life, sinning is more satisfying _ at least in the short term.

Bolly Wooly _ a lamb patty with curry remoulade & mango chutney on a honey-oat bun. The meat is so achingly tender, we imagine it might deliquesce on our forks. But in spite of the savory-sugary topping, it might be too assertively gamy for many of us.

For the next Meatless Monday, bite into this Big Bello _ chunky portobello mushroom with balsamic vinegar, caramelized onions, peppers, pineapple, mozzarella cheese & chipotle sauce in a wholewheat bun. It hits a high benchmark for vegetarian succulence.

What would go well with all five of those burgers? Beer-battered onion rings. Fatboy's also serves non-burger fare _ fish & chips, hot dogs, country-fried chicken & more.

Bitter Moon, a more obscure 1992 Hugh Grant movie. This one has absinthe, Greek yogurt, Bombay Sapphire, cucumber & mint leaves _ a creative combo that illustrates how the bar here takes its concoctions very seriously.

I like the idea of building my own burgers...but I will have to check with them how tall my burger is going to be with the chosen ingredients. I may well end up not being able to take a bite of it per se.

Ulric: heheh, yeah, maybe you can try ordering the Holy Caesar so that you can proclaim that phrase! :D the onion rings were fine. big, crisp & fairly juicy. just that i'm not really a lover of onion rings =)

Min: ooh, they do screen movies, but not regularly. best to call them up at 03-6211-3344 to check on shows & showtimes :D gosh, poor hugh. he'll always be haunted by that divine brown indiscretion, eh =)
